Hey, the dating world is rough, okay? Sometimes you have to set out some guidelines so that you know what to look for in a guy.
Whether it's a strict height, or just a general "I would prefer he not boss me around 24/7," these Hollywood ladies have some opinions.
As they very well should.
Unsurprisingly, equality is the name of the game for Taylor.
"It needs to be equal. If I feel too much like I’m wearing the pants, I start to feel uncomfortable and then we break up," she told Harper's Bazaar.
The world-renowned model won't date just anyone — and she ties her preference to her nationality.
"I don't accept dates with just any kind of guy. I'm very picky. I'm French." She told Allure.
Margot Robbie not only has a preference, but she has a full-on type.
"I kind of like ponytails, beards, maybe a tattoo. My massive obsession – I'm really targeting a niche market here—a harelip."
Girl, a harelip? Are you okay?
Emily Ratajkowski looks for a creative soul.
"I really like people who are creative in some way too. I have noticed that in my dating history, I tend to get along with people who like to make things or are creatively inclined." She said.
Jessica Alba's house is for nerds only.
"I definitely go for the shy, nerdy type of guy. I'm pretty wary of really good-looking guys – and as an actress, you work with so many gorgeous men you become completely immune.
Deep down, it's probably because they were always the ones who ignored me when I was younger."
I mean, we had to have one dude in here, right?
His standards are pretty basic: how does his partner make him feel?
"You want to be with a girl who likes you for you. Just be yourself and forget all the stuff you read about in GQ Magazine."
Selena basically wants what we all want in a partner: someone who is chill AF.
"I’d be so stoked with a writer or producer or actor who is low-key, but those kind of guys are terrified of me!" She said.
This one isn't much of a shock! Emma Watson wants a man with manners, thank you very much.
"Kindness, good manners, intelligence, confidence… and someone who can make me laugh. Manners are important."
Hm...maybe Tom Felton is taking notes?
Vanessa Hudgens was pretty honest about the fact that looks do matter to her — but not more than a good personality.
"Somebody could be extremely good-looking, but if they don't have a personality to match, it doesn't matter. It truly is what's on the inside."
The model has some sage advice for what to look for in a partner:
"You want to find someone who is way better than you, or you think so. You’re like, 'This person is gonna bring out the best in me, and I’m gonna be a way better person this year."
Natalie has the ideal partner in mind: a friend!
"I look for all the same things I would in a friend. Obviously, you need the attraction too, so it’s like your best friend who you are also really attracted to."
Khloé's rules in a relationship? Make sure she supports her partner above all else.
"For me, it’s more about how I made someone feel rather than what I did," she told Health.
Only the best, most educated man will do for Queen Riri.
"[...] guys who are cultured. That’ll keep me intrigued. They don’t have to have a single degree, but they should speak other languages or know things about other parts of the world or history or certain artists or musicians. I like to be taught," She told the New York Times.
Ashley Benson is currently in a relationship with Cara Delevingne, and has been open about knowing what she wants in a relationship in the past.
"He has to make me laugh, 100 percent. Be respectful. Personality is key. Likes to travel, and…I don’t really like guys who work out." She said.
I mean, duh! Anna Kendrick just wants a dork in her life.
"I kind of like, just a sweet guy. Just a kind of dorky, sweet guy. In the best way."
That makes perfect sense for her.
Kristen Bell looks for nothing but openness with her husband, Dax Shepard. They work on being very honest with each other.
"Also BE VULNERABLE. No one does it right. So forgive. And then be vulnerable again."
For J-Law, it's a "no" if a guy is bossy, or domineering.
"Guys are so mean to me. I know where it’s coming from, I know they’re trying to establish dominance, but it hurts my feelings. I’m just a girl who wants you to be nice to me."
Guys, this is heartbreaking. A fun challenge: don't be mean to the person you want to date.
I feel like we all saw this one coming.
"Lots of tattoos! I do love guys with tattoos." She said. "I love a bad boy."
This makes total sense for Ari, who even gets matching tattoos with her boyfriends.
She is the queen of knowing exactly what she wants, and nothing less.
"I'm looking for somebody that's not an egomaniac. Somebody who's secure but is secure enough to admit their own insecurities [...] who allows me to be funny without having to one-up me all the time.
Somebody that's loyal and honest and trustworthy and that you feel protected with."
Sure, you gotta be gorgeous, but to date ScarJo? You have to know it.
"One thing I look for that isn't physical is a healthy confidence. If somebody is confident in a way that you admire – being strong and funny – that can make someone you might not initially be attracted to more attractive."
Kendall's family laughs a lot, so her requirement is pretty easy to guess: he has to be funny!
"A good sense of humor. Especially in my industry, any guy that takes himself too seriously is not for me. We have to be able to laugh together."
Nina Dobrev has a simple wish for her chosen partner: have manners, and don't be too vain.
"I like it when guys hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful. If a guy spends more time looking in the mirror than I do, that's a problem!"
Emilia Clarke wants someone who is funny and smart—hold the looks.
"Genuinely, my ideal man is someone who, I know every woman says this but I mean this from the bottom of my heart, someone whose brain is as big as their funny bone. Someone who is super smart, can make me laugh, has, like, a dad bod.
I don't need no six-pack. Like, I ain't kicking it out of bed for sure, but every character I've been with has been too perfect."
